Hello friends!
Thanks to all those who took part in the June poll. Looks like everyone wants me to do Stand up and a youtube show. Well, those were the two I was going to do anyways, so Im glad you all agree :)
I know I have not posted in a while. I am moving to BC in a week, and have been doing a lot of soul searching and personal planning of my life and comedy career.
I just want to say, once I get settled in Vancouver, my blog will be a staple point to my comedy, so don't leave me now. I have generated many great stand up ideas through writing, and plan to re-read every blog I ever wrote to search for every possible joke or funny bit. I plan to use lots of this stuff one way or another in my comedy.

It was eight years ago this month that Ryan Conway and I moved over to Vancouver to follow our acting dreams out of high school. That is very hard to believe. It has been quite the journey for me. Although I have not had a lot of personal success in the comedy world, that does not mean I am loosing faith. In fact, I can honestly say that I am more excited and ready then ever to follow my comedy foot steps.
Time is a beautiful thing.
In the last 8 years, I learned many things about myself and this crazy world we live in. My comedic voice is growing. My desire to make people laugh is growing even faster.
The late great George Carlin said he didn't really find his comedic voice until he was in his 50s. I hope it doesn't take me THAT long, but who cares if it does. It doesn't mean I can't go out and do it now. Comedy is a muscle, and the more you exercise and use that muscle, the stronger it becomes.
I look forward to my adventures back in Vancouver. I am back to prove all who doubted me along the way wrong. I am out to prove to the world that you can never give up on your dreams. That no matter what happens in your life, positive or negative, you must strive forward and never take your eye off the prize. I am out to prove that hard work, dedication and desire will pay off.
Most of all, I am doing this for ME, my friends and my family. Without them, I would and could not do this.
I am going against the grain, off the beaten path.
My choice. My way.
The man says go to college and get a good job.
Fuck you.
The man says buy a house and have a baby.
Fuck you.
The man says you always need a back up plan in case things don't work out.
Fuck that.
My goals have and always will be that same. To make people laugh. To make them forget, even if its just for a minute, about their problems or concerns. To let people smile.
This is my gift to the world.
Don't give up on me now friends, because 8 years later, Brad is coming back to Vancouver. 8 years stronger and 8 years wiser.
Ain't nobody gunna cut me down.
